. Hangers, of which the following isa description. I

My invention relates to improvements in sup ortsfor shaft hangers adapted for use in mo ern concrete buildings.

In the lconstruction of concrete buildings I each ceiling presents a series of reinforced the roof, as the case may be, and heretofore great difficulty has been experienced in properly supporting shaft hangers from .these beams.- In doing this work it has been usually the custom to drill through the beams so as to obtain a support therefrom and from thesel supports the shaft hangers are carried in various ways. The work, however, is tedious and expensivathe result is frequently unsightly, and it is (hificult to obtain proper alineinent.

The object of myinvention is to provide an improved support for shaft hangers of a superior character in which great strength will be secured, .a neatand attractive'appearance obtained and perfect alinement of the shaft or shafts permitted.

In order that the invention may be better understood, attention is directed tothe accompanying drawing in whichf Figure 1, is a sectional view through a concrete beam illustrating supports for two lines of shaft hangers; Fig. 2, a sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1- Fig. 3, an end view, partly 'in section, showing the supports and illustrating a single hanger in position, and

. Fig. 4, a section on the line 4-4 of- Fig. 3,

looking downward.

Injall of the above views corresponding parts arerepresented by the same reference l numerals. I

` 1 represents the concrete beam, preferably reinforced in the 'usual way and within which are embedded during the molding thereof, two or more kbolts 2'-2. Preferably these bolts are surroundedby tubes 3 whose exterior may,vifl desired, be rughened so as Y to increase the contact with the cement and.

which tubes lsupport the bolts by mean'sof washers 4 placed between the upper ends of the tubes and the/heads oftlieboltsj.y To

. what I c preferably ordinary gas pipes. concrete beams supporting the floor above or ported in the u su'al' molds before' thecon- A crete is introduced therein, so that when the concrete' is set the bolts will Abe veryiirmly supported and sustained within thebeams.

lCarried' by the bolts 2-2 are plates 5 having slots 6 so, as t'o permit the plates to be properly lined up as will be understood. The plates 5 are formed withy lugs 7 through which extend the pipes 8 which latter are Preferably three lines of 'ipesare used soas to sup ort two separate lines of shaft hange s as will be understood. When a' single line of shaft hangers is to be supported, two lines of pipes will be employed." The pipes 8,-8 are preferably secured in the lugs Z by means of set screws 9. Carried bythe pipes 8.-8 are the lsupporting plates v10 each of which is formed preferably with a pair of hooks 11 at one end,` which extend over the outside pipes 8, and

.with a pair of eyes 12 at theother end,r en- 8o gaging the middle line of pipe.v In setting up the sup orts 10 it will only be necessary to thread t e middle line of pipe through the eyes" I2 of al .series of supports, since the hooks l1 can-be placed over the outer 'line of pipes without removing the latter. After the'sup orts 10 have been mounted in place,

the sha t hangersl which are of anysuitl able type, are secured. thereto by means of bolts 14, working preferably in slots 15in the supports so as to permit adjustment of the .hangers- To prevent dislodgment lengthwise of the supporting pipes, the supports 1,0

may be provided with one or more. set screws 16 passing through thej eyes 12 and engaging `the pipe 8v therein. Having ,Lnow described my invention,

' 1f.A The combination with a concrete beam, of supporting bolts molded therein and extendingbeneath the same, aplate carried by said bolts at the bottomv of the beam, a series of'longitudinal supports carried? by said plates and a shaft hanger carried by thelongitudinal supports, substantially as set forth.

m as new' and desire to'- secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

IOO

2. .The combination witha concrete beam,

of, ytubes molded therein, supporting bolts carried by said tubes and extending beneath 'the beam, `a plate carried by said bolts at the y bottom ofthe beam, ,a series of longitudinal supports carried by said plates and-a shaft'- lhanger carried by thelongitudinal supports,

substantiallyA as set forth.

3. The combination with a concrete beam,

of tubes molded therein, supporting bolts carried bysaid tubes and extending beneath the beam, a Washer arranged between the upper end of each tube and the head of the bolt Within the same, a plate carried by said bolts `-of supporting bolts molded therein and eX- tending beneath the same, a plate adjustably Carried by the saidbolts at the bottom of the beam, aseries 'of longitudinal supports ear-` fried by said plates and a shaft hanger carried 4by the longitudinal supports, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination-With a Concrete beam,

of-supporting bolts molded therein and eX- -tending beneath the same, a plate carried by said bolts at the bottom of the beam, a series of longitudinal supports carried by said plates, a hanger suppprt arried by the lon gitudinal supports, and a shaft hanger ear-` `ried by the hanger support', substantially as set forth. l

6. The combination with a concrete beam, of supporting bolts molded therein and eX- tending beneath the same, a plate carried by said bolts at the bottom of the beam, a series of longitudinal' supports carried by said plates, a hanger support carried by the longitudinal supports, and a shaft hanger carried by the hanger support and adjustable thereon,lsubstantially as set forth.

7. The combination with` a eonerete beam, of supporting bolts molded therein and e. tending beneath the same, a plate carried by said bolts at the bottom of the beam, a series of longitudinal supports carried by said plates, a hanger support hooked at one end over. one of the longitudinal supports and threaded at the other end of an adjacent longitudinal support, anda shaft hanger carried by the hanger support, substantially as set forth.

` 8. The combination with a concrete beam, of supporting bolts molded therein and extending beneath the same, a plate earried by 'said bolts at 'the' bottom of the beam, three parallel lines of longitudinal supports carried by said plates, a hanger support carried by the middle longitudinal support and one of the outside longitudinal supports, and a seeond hanger support carried by the middle longitudinal support andnthe other outside longitudinal support, and hanger supports offering support for shafthangers, substantially as set forth. p
